Clint Eastwood stars and directs a slightly out-of-character flick as a broke, isolated man facing the closure of his business. Out of desperation, the 90-year-old Korean War veteran begins transporting drugs through Illinois for a Mexican drug cartel.

Holmes & Watson

Sherlock Holmes has always been a prestigious character in literature, using an incredible amount of genius to solve the most complex of crimes, right? Not this time. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly join forces yet again in a comical twist of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic.

How to Train Your Dragon 3: The Hidden World

Toothless is back and we cannot handle the level of cuteness. Reunite with Hiccup and his bestie on a hunt to find the only other Night Fury in existence. Plus, you get to see how dragons flirt which, is surprisingly relatable.

The Accidental Prime Minister is based on the memoir by Indian policy analyst Sanjaya Baru. The film explores Manmohan Singh's tenure as the Prime Minister of India, and the trials he faced within the cabinet and the country.

Petta

Written and directed by Karthik Subbaraj, Petta follows a hostel warden whose life takes an unexpected turn when he becomes entangled with a group of gangsters.

Not for the faint-hearted, 122 is an Arabic language action-packed journey of violence, fear and nail-biting action. The film follows a young couple’s plight to flee from the hospital that is anything but a safe place.
